In the summer of 1854, the Brooklyn City Railroad opened four separate streetcar lines. The lines were introduced here several years before they were brought to larger cities, such as Baltimore, Boston, and Philadelphia, demonstrating the citys modernization and ingenuity. From its first introduction, Brooklyn had one of the nations largest urban transit systems. With the advent of streetcars, the population in Brooklyn grew from about 139,000 to over 2.5 million by the time streetcars were retired. The street railway blended mobility with innovation, prompting one-third of New York Citys population to call Brooklyn home.
This book documents electric power requirements for the dismounted soldier on future Army battlefields, describes advanced energy concepts, and provides an integrated assessment of technologies likely to affect limitations and needs in the future. It surveys technologies associated with both supply and demand including: energy sources and systems; low power electronics and design; communications, computers, displays, and sensors; and networks, protocols, and operations. Advanced concepts discussed are predicated on continued development by the Army of soldier systems similar to the Land Warrior system on which the committee bases its projections on energy use. Finally, the volume proposes twenty research objectives to achieve energy goals in the 2025 time frame.
For the past 60 years, there have been a lot of desperate people on the planet who claim to be targeted by a sinister government plot to torture and harass them. These people are known as Targeted Individuals (TIs). Targeted Individuals claim to hear disembodied voices in their heads and experience severe physiological discomfiture, such as mind- and body-control at the hands of their attackers – so-called “Perpetrators” – a breed of human beings known to ruthlessly torture their victims, the Targeted Individuals, and electronically control them using remote radio frequencies and satellite terrorism. The act of hearing voices that are not there is called V2k, or “Voice-to-Skull”, in the vernacular. It is a continuous nightmare for the millions of Targeted Individuals who are subjected to it; an incurable condition that, once acquired, is a lifelong sentence of neverending horror and torture that is as indescribable as it is inhumane. “The Radiohead Protocol”, the third book in the V2k trilogy of books that started several years ago with “The 7 Keys to V2k” and “The Truth Will Set You Free”, is the definitive response to long-unanswered questions about V2k, the book that lifts the lid off the entire mind-control industry run by the Perpetrators in the United States and the rest of the world. “The Radiohead Protocol” addresses vital subjects such as, where does V2k/mind-control come from? How did we come to be V2k/mind-controlled? How is V2k/mind-control administered? And of course, the biggest question of all: How do we, as Targeted Individuals, free ourselves from it? Definitive answers could not be found in the 20th and early 21st centuries. But at last, the information has become available: the secrets of electromagnetic mind-control – V2k or Voice-to-Skull – are no longer the insufferable mystery (or misery) that they once were, thanks to the trilogy series including “The Radiohead Protocol”, the final instalment. It takes the reader on a journey to the past, to witness the very creation of V2k by the inventor of electromagnetic mind-control. He was not only a founding father of the New Age movement in the mid to late 20th Century, but a member of the Military Industrial Complex; an academic with a special interest in reading other people’s minds; a lifelong ambition which he managed to fulfil during his industrious career. Far from being a footnote in history, the inventor of V2k went on to patent his mind-controlling invention and then table it as a major electromagnetic mind-control project of the US government. Indeed, the invention was perfected as a psychological warfare program for the Pentagon in the 1950s. “The Radiohead Protocol” is essentially the unauthorized biography of the inventor of V2k/mind-control, who subjected millions of Targeted Individuals to a lifetime of mental slavery and unimaginable suffering after he researched on non-consenting subjects and then went on to exercise Electronic Harassment and mind-control indiscriminately on victims with devastating effects. The book then returns readers to the present, where the so-called Perpetrators currently use the very same mind-control program – created by the inventor so many decades ago – to ruthlessly torture and harass victims in their own homes and minds, as if enough wasn’t enough, already. “The Radiohead Protocol” is the most uncompromising book ever written on the subject of 21st Century V2k/mind-control, and the only honest information that stands between victims of this heinous crime against humanity and a growing number of aggressive Perpetrators who use the invention to create pandemonium in the community...
Americans' safety, productivity, comfort, and convenience depend on the reliable supply of electric power. The electric power system is a complex "cyber-physical" system composed of a network of millions of components spread out across the continent. These components are owned, operated, and regulated by thousands of different entities. Power system operators work hard to assure safe and reliable service, but large outages occasionally happen. Given the nature of the system, there is simply no way that outages can be completely avoided, no matter how much time and money is devoted to such an effort. The system's reliability and resilience can be improved but never made perfect. Thus, system owners, operators, and regulators must prioritize their investments based on potential benefits. Enhancing the Resilience of the Nation's Electricity System focuses on identifying, developing, and implementing strategies to increase the power system's resilience in the face of events that can cause large-area, long-duration outages: blackouts that extend over multiple service areas and last several days or longer. Resilience is not just about lessening the likelihood that these outages will occur. It is also about limiting the scope and impact of outages when they do occur, restoring power rapidly afterwards, and learning from these experiences to better deal with events in the future.
